"that's what she said" jokes aside, is anyone else having problems with their rubber nut wells breaking all the time? Maybe it's just the age of my '07, but every time I take the farings apart, at least one more breaks. And they are kinda expensive to replace from everywhere I've looked. Am I just over tightening the bolts or what?

oh and why does it cost so much to ship oem parts? $10 for a few parts that weigh all of 2 oz??

I had the same problem with the stock well nuts. I was just tightening them to much.

Yea, I've had to replace a couple. They are a rubber part and will fail after some time; and your bike is now 5 years old. I ordered a few spares with a larger parts order a couple years ago to avoid a shipping charge that's greater than the part. Check this out:

yup busted all mine out on the windscreen. Thank the lord heres eBay! haha

Ha I just had to deal with these pain in the *** well nuts a few days ago when I put on my Sport Bars. Definitely one or two broken in my windshield and fairings. Anyone interested in splitting a set?, because I don't need 25 and would rather not pay the whole 17$.

try going here... 50 cents a piece and you can order as many or as few as you want. | Specialty metric screws for your motorcycle as well as Fuel, Lube, and Air filters for your car or truck.

I found this in the comment section of the link that Tomm posted.

Excellent leads on well nuts!!! Just went to the dealer today thinking, "ok, I'll pay a little more but I'll have'em." I mean having seen what these things are and figuring they must have a fairly high failure rate after a few years I thought for sure they'd have bunches of them....they had to order them... 5 - 7 days...lol

Gonna save you guys quite a bit of hassle. They sell these at hardware stores, I got some at my local ACE Hardware, 88 cents a piece. They weren't called well nuts though, they are called expansion nuts. They didnt have metric, but the #10-32 fit perfectly fine.

I just ordered a whole pack of like 30 on eBay for a few dollars.

Not to call BS, but my 07 is 5 years old and the only ones I've had to replace were ones that I lost. They normally hold up very well unless you overtighten them, deforming and cracking them. It would take a loooong time for them to disintegrate from being old given the application.
